COMPETITIVE
Program Description
Age Range: 11-17
Gender: Boys and Girls Teams
The New Orleans Spartans FC Competitive program provides an appropriate development environment for soccer players ages 11 to 17 years of age. Within an encouraging, supportive, and challenging atmosphere, players focus on continuing to build a strong technical foundation and increasing their understanding of team strategies and tactics.
Training
The New Orleans Spartans FC Competitive program provides instruction in training three times per week from our technical staff of professional coaches. Our home training site is Tad Gormley Stadium in City Park. Because we train on turf, our training sessions are held almost without fail, leaving ample time for technical and team development. Team training begins in mid-August, although development opportunities are often available much earlier and throughout the summer, including summer camps. The fall extends into early-November and the spring season begins again in mid-January. Age-group schedules depend on the completion of school soccer at the LHSAA level. Training is done within a club and family atmosphere, offering all players the opportunity to train with players of an equivalent skill level, while also permitting sufficient time for team development.
Competitions
Spartans FC teams will generally play games every weekend and most teams can expect to participate in at least three tournaments during each of the fall and spring seasons, including Premier Soccer League competitions for some age groups. Our home games are held on the grass pitch on the campus of SUNO. New Orleans Spartans Football Club participates in the Louisiana Competitive Soccer League.
